Urocare offers a variety of external urinary catheters and catheter supplies, including sheaths and adhesive strips. A Texas style catheter consists of a thin latex sheath, a white silicone tube to drain urine into a bag, and a plastic catheter insert. Urocare also makes an external catheter for males, which is a one-piece catheter that features a twist-resistant funnel. Urofoam adhesive foam strips are used with these catheters to create a secure fit.

An alternative to single-use adhesive strips for catheters are Reusable Catheter Straps. These leg straps for catheter bags are washable and reusable, making them a more economical option. Disposable strips attach using an adhesive, whereas reusable catheter bag straps close using velcro. The straps are fully adjustable, giving you the perfect fit.

If you choose to use adhesive catheter strips, a good item to keep on hand is Skin Adhesive Remover. This medical adhesive remover gently removes any sticky residue on the skin that can be left behind from catheter strips. UroBond Adhesive Thinner is a silicone product designed to thin out adhesive rather than remove it completely. The adhesive thinner that comes in a bottle with a brush applicator, and is great for use with ostomy supplies.

A Skin Protectant Prep Pad is essential to use before applying an external catheter because it provides a protective skin barrier. The surgical skin prep products eliminate any residue on the skin surface, allowing adhesive catheter strips to effectively stick to the body. The skin prep wipes, sprays, and swabsticks are gentle and are available in alcohol free, no-sting formulas.
